title: DependencyParser
tag: class
source: spacy/pipeline/dep_parser.pyx
teaser: 'Pipeline component for syntactic dependency parsing'
api_base_class: /api/pipe
api_string_name: parser
api_trainable: true
---
A transition-based dependency parser component. The dependency parser jointly
learns sentence segmentation and labelled dependency parsing, and can optionally
learn to merge tokens that had been over-segmented by the tokenizer. The parser
uses a variant of the **non-monotonic arc-eager transition-system** described by
[Honnibal and Johnson (2014)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/D15-1162/), with
the addition of a "break" transition to perform the sentence segmentation.
[Nivre (2005)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P05-1013/)'s **pseudo-projective
dependency transformation** is used to allow the parser to predict
non-projective parses.
The parser is trained using an **imitation learning objective**. It follows the
actions predicted by the current weights, and at each state, determines which
actions are compatible with the optimal parse that could be reached from the
current state. The weights are updated such that the scores assigned to the set
of optimal actions is increased, while scores assigned to other actions are
decreased. Note that more than one action may be optimal for a given state.
## Assigned Attributes {#assigned-attributes}
Dependency predictions are assigned to the `Token.dep` and `Token.head` fields.
Beside the dependencies themselves, the parser decides sentence boundaries,
which are saved in `Token.is_sent_start` and accessible via `Doc.sents`.
| Location | Value |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Token.dep` | The type of dependency relation (hash). ~~int~~ |
| `Token.dep_` | The type of dependency relation. ~~str~~ |
| `Token.head` | The syntactic parent, or "governor", of this token. ~~Token~~ |
| `Token.is_sent_start` | A boolean value indicating whether the token starts a sentence. After the parser runs this will be `True` or `False` for all tokens. ~~bool~~ |
| `Doc.sents` | An iterator over sentences in the `Doc`, determined by `Token.is_sent_start` values. ~~Iterator[Span]~~ |
## Config and implementation {#config}
The default config is defined by the pipeline component factory and describes
how the component should be configured. You can override its settings via the
`config` argument on [`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe) or in your
[`config.cfg` for training](/usage/training#config). See the
[model architectures](/api/architectures) documentation for details on the
architectures and their arguments and hyperparameters.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> from spacy.pipeline.dep_parser import DEFAULT_PARSER_MODEL
> config = {
> "moves": None,
> "update_with_oracle_cut_size": 100,
> "learn_tokens": False,
> "min_action_freq": 30,
> "model": DEFAULT_PARSER_MODEL,
> }
> nlp.add_pipe("parser", config=config)
> ```
| Setting | Description |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `moves` | A list of transition names. Inferred from the data if not provided. Defaults to `None`. ~~Optional[TransitionSystem]~~ |
| `update_with_oracle_cut_size` | During training, cut long sequences into shorter segments by creating intermediate states based on the gold-standard history. The model is not very sensitive to this parameter, so you usually won't need to change it. Defaults to `100`. ~~int~~ |
| `learn_tokens` | Whether to learn to merge subtokens that are split relative to the gold standard. Experimental. Defaults to `False`. ~~bool~~ |
| `min_action_freq` | The minimum frequency of labelled actions to retain. Rarer labelled actions have their label backed-off to "dep". While this primarily affects the label accuracy, it can also affect the attachment structure, as the labels are used to represent the pseudo-projectivity transformation. Defaults to `30`. ~~int~~ |
| `model` | The [`Model`](https://thinc.ai/docs/api-model) powering the pipeline component. Defaults to [TransitionBasedParser](/api/architectures#TransitionBasedParser). ~~Model[List[Doc], List[Floats2d]]~~ |
```python
%%GITHUB_SPACY/spacy/pipeline/dep_parser.pyx
```

Create a new pipeline instance. In your application, you would normally use a
shortcut for this and instantiate the component using its string name and
[`nlp.add_pipe`](/api/language#add_pipe).

## DependencyParser.\_\_call\_\_ {#call tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to one document. The document is modified in place, and returned.
This usually happens under the hood when the `nlp` object is called on a text
and all pipeline components are applied to the `Doc` in order. Both
[`__call__`](/api/dependencyparser#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/dependencyparser#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/dependencyparser#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/dependencyparser#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> doc = nlp("This is a sentence.")
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
> # This usually happens under the hood
> processed = parser(doc)
> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | -------------------------------- |
| `doc` | The document to process. ~~Doc~~ |
| **RETURNS** | The processed document. ~~Doc~~ |
## DependencyParser.pipe {#pipe tag="method"}
Apply the pipe to a stream of documents. This usually happens under the hood
when the `nlp` object is called on a text and all pipeline components are
applied to the `Doc` in order. Both [`__call__`](/api/dependencyparser#call) and
[`pipe`](/api/dependencyparser#pipe) delegate to the
[`predict`](/api/dependencyparser#predict) and
[`set_annotations`](/api/dependencyparser#set_annotations) methods.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
> for doc in parser.pipe(docs, batch_size=50):
> pass
> ```
| Name | Description |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `docs` | A stream of documents. ~~Iterable[Doc]~~ |
| _keyword-only_ | |
| `batch_size` | The number of documents to buffer. Defaults to `128`. ~~int~~ |
| **YIELDS** | The processed documents in order. ~~Doc~~ |
## DependencyParser.initialize {#initialize tag="method" new="3"}
Initialize the component for training. `get_examples` should be a function that
returns an iterable of [`Example`](/api/example) objects. **At least one example
should be supplied.** The data examples are used to **initialize the model** of
the component and can either be the full training data or a representative
sample. Initialization includes validating the network,
[inferring missing shapes](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-models#validation) and
setting up the label scheme based on the data. This method is typically called
by [`Language.initialize`](/api/language#initialize) and lets you customize
arguments it receives via the
[`[initialize.components]`](/api/data-formats#config-initialize) block in the
config.
<Infobox variant="warning" title="Changed in v3.0" id="begin_training">
This method was previously called `begin_training`.

> #### Example
>
> ```python
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
> parser.initialize(lambda: examples, nlp=nlp)
> ```
>
> ```ini
> ### config.cfg

> ```
| Name | Description |
| ----------- | ---------------------------- |
| **RETURNS** | The optimizer. ~~Optimizer~~ |
## DependencyParser.use_params {#use_params tag="method, contextmanager"}
Modify the pipe's model, to use the given parameter values. At the end of the
context, the original parameters are restored.

provide a **representative data sample** to the [`initialize`](#initialize)
method. In this case, all labels found in the sample will be automatically added
to the model, and the output dimension will be
[inferred](/usage/layers-architectures#thinc-shape-inference) automatically.

## DependencyParser.set_output {#set_output tag="method"}
Change the output dimension of the component's model by calling the model's
attribute `resize_output`. This is a function that takes the original model and
the new output dimension `nO`, and changes the model in place. When resizing an
already trained model, care should be taken to avoid the "catastrophic
forgetting" problem.
> #### Example
>
> ```python
> parser = nlp.add_pipe("parser")
> parser.set_output(512)
> ```
